NodeBB: hCaptcha
-
Hi,
Does anyone have any instructions on the easy implementation of hCaptcha on the new user registration page?@mventures You’ll need the plugin
nodebb-plugin-spam-be-gonewhich once installed will provide several mechanisms for protection
You’ll want the
hCaptchamodule, and you should follow the instructions here

Thanks for that! I have installed the plugin but where exactly do I go to see the different mechanisms offered and input the values? I am not able to find the configuration settings as seen on your 1st screenshot.

@mventures Sorry - I should have mentioned that to use
You’ll need to create an account there first. From that point, you’ll be able to use the screenshots I provided.

Finally, I got a chance to work on this one but it didn’t go as planned, all because NodeBB wouldn’t save the page every time I click the Save button. I tried on both Safari and Chrome. Please see below. Do you know what the issue is?

@mventures It won’t save because you first have to enable the “Stop Forum Spam” tab and subscribe for a (free) key
I’ve enabled this, and provided you with my key temporarily, which you should change
I then enabled hCaptcha using my details, and registered your site with my hCaptcha account
This now works as intended
You should of course register your own site and secret keys rather than use mine

@phenomlab THANK YOU SO MUCH! Really much appreciated again.
I shall definitely change everything and not use your values.I have the hCAPTCHA values already but not the stopforumspam one. I signed up on that site but I am yet to receive the password by email. Have written to the admin there and waiting for a response.

@mventures Ok, no real hurry - just when you can.
EDIT - I also updated your forum to RC2 as it was still at RC1.

@mventures the term
RCrefers to “Release Candidate” which is the version just before software is ready to release to market. Essentially, this signifies that software has successfully passed though bothalphaandbetabefore reachingRCstage.For the record, there were over 99 beta releases of NodeBB before the devs were satisfied it was ready for release candidate 1 - let alone 2.
The final release will tell you in the ACP when an upgrade is available.

You might want to check your junk email. Typically, these emails are delivered in minutes and not days.

@phenomlab Yes, but it never arrived. So, today I tried again and it worked. I have signed up for the free API key but I am yet to get the email with the details. However, they have the option to get the key from their website which I now have. I shall try using it and see if it works over your one.

@mventures
Should I tick one of these? I know it’s optional but if there is a benefit in someway, I can tick. -
Update: I have replaced your values with mine. It seems to be working now.
